Germany’s history informs its current laws. That much is undeniable. But it doesn’t excuse the over-correction applied by legislators in hopes of heading off another Hitler. And it cert…
Do you think this person deserves to be charged for this as well?
I mean, if a “like” on facebook is interpreted as it is “liking someones post and or comment” and that post or comment dehumanized a dead police officer (or the entire force), then yes, I think its more than justified.
You and I have very different opinions of what is the right way to deal with online speech.
I actually agree with poVoq elsewhere in this thread that in terms of moderation, most of this stuff is probably stuff that whoever oversees the channel should be removing. In absolutely no reality should that mean the real-world police need to get involved. There are literally thousands of people on Lemmy who would be getting visits from the American police, concerning a certain Mario brother, if that were the rule here. I would prefer not to open that door (not least of which because it is completely guaranteed that once it starts, it will instantly be applied to anyone who for example calls a politician a penis. You keep sort of swerving around that example as if it “doesn’t count” or something, when measuring the impact of this law when applied in practice.)

And that’s totally fine, especially since we apparently don’t live in the same country and as such different Laws apply to us.
